underwater.com.au the most up-to-date and comprehensive directory of diving services around Australia is conducting its annual dive expedition.

August 6 to 12 - 6 days, 6 nights - 20 to 22 dives - A$ 1710

Join underwater.com.au on this fantastic trip and SAVE 10% of the normal trip cost PLUS one lucky person will get their trip FULLY REFUNDED* - that's a massive chance for a FREE trip of a lifetime.

Our expedition on the Undersea Explorer will visit Australia's best dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef, as well as Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea. The Undersea Explorer sets new standards in adventure diving by offering truly remote diving, as well as the opportunity to learn from and mingle with marine scientists.

On Undersea Explorer, diver's abilities are respected and include no time-limit dives and exhilarating drift dives. Your diving experience is priority. Research activities fit around the diving program, adding a stimulating atmosphere of discovery to all expeditions while contributing to our knowledge and conservation of marine eco-systems.

We have chosen this trip time carefully at the beginning of the low season and the end of the Minke Whale season, so we might get the best of both worlds in one trip - seeing Minke Whales along the way up and down the Ribbon Reefs and still venturing out to the Coral Sea for some amazing shark encounters and research. And all that for the low season price PLUS the underwater.com.au discount AND your huge chances to win the trip cost back - simply unbeatable value.
Four dives per day, weather and conditions permitting, except on the 6th day which includes 2 dives.
Dives are selected to suit the weather and seasonal marine highlights. The itinerary is flexible and may be adjusted.
You are responsible to make your own travel arrangements to and from Port Douglas - underwater.com.au will help you select and book accommodation and transfers from Cairns.
